Preparedness and Emergency Management

Last Updated : 5/4/2017

ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY READY FOR AN EMERGENCY?

Emergencies affect hundreds of people every year. One may hit your installation and community and challenge you and your family. When emergencies occur, military and civilian organizations respond, but it takes time to mobilize and they focus on the most critical needs first.

EMERGENCY KITS

All personnel should maintain a basic level of preparedness for potential hazards.

You are encouraged to get an emergency supply kit, make a family emergency plan and be informed about what might happen.

For more information about preparedness and the Army Ready program, call the Fort Wainwright Emergency Management Office at 907-353-9755.

WHAT TO PUT IN YOUR BASIC HOME KIT

Water — at least one gallon per person per day for at least three days

Food — nonperishable food for at least three days (select items that require no preparation, refrigeration or cooking such as high-energy foods and ready-to-eat canned meat, vegetables and fruit)

Manual can opener (if the food is canned), preferably on a multi-tool

Reusable plates, cups, utensils, saucepan (Note: A metal bowl can double as a cup or plate.)
